EVERY now and again the "mean-
est man" is discovered, and each
time he is found he is meaner than
before. This time he turns up in
the person of Edgar Weeks, of York
town, y. Y. He is comparatively
well-to-do, but is brutal and stingy.
When his wife became so debilitated
from consumption that she could
no longer work, he sent her to the
county almshouse, where she failed
rapidly, and was soon at death
door. Weeks was sent for, aud ar
rived just in time to see her die.
The scene made so little impression
on him that while the corpse was
being prepared for interment he
asked the superintendent if the lat
ter could recommend somebody as
successor to the deceased woman.
Joklngly, the Official named one Of
the servant girls as possessing the
qualifications, whereupon Weeks
at once made love to her and offered
her marriage. The. women about
the place waited until the dead wo-
man was under ground, when they
formed a broom brigade and pro-
ceeded to escort Weeks off the prem
ises. Now the fellow is trying to
have the danes indicted for assault,
and has asked a lawyer to sue the
county for damages to his person
and feelings at the hands of the
county employees. Mr.. Weets will
probably hold the belt for meanness
for some time.

FOR the Evening Capital.
An important Matter.

Mr.. EDIT0R:-Annapolis has inn
proved in the last fifteen years more
than in fifty years previous to that
time. Little towns have sprung up
in and on the outside of our finish
ed city: but there is one thing of
very great Importance (which must
not be neglected) to our city now
aud in the future, and should eat
tended to right away. What shall
we do with the dead? All the lots
in our City Cemetery have been
bought up. In fact, they are now
opening graves in the old part, and
in every case throwing up bones of
others buried years ago. Now, some
thing must be done. What is it?
Mr.. Editor allow me to make sug-
gestion. Let the Corporation take
it in hand; let them purchase-say
not less than ten acres on the OPP
posite side of the Cemetery, across
the creek. They could build a good
bridge for about one thousand dol
lars. The whole cost would not
exceed two thousand dollars. This
would not only be a great improve
ment and want supplied, but an
investment that would pay the city
largely. | understand that the col
ored people who purchased the
ground used by them just outside
of the city, paid for it $500, and
have already sold lots amounting to
upwards of 81, 100. PROGRESS

Mr.. Cleveland does not deny that
he has aspirations for renomina-
ton, and hence we think he will
discover that he has made grave
mistake in not following the advice
of the CAPITAL in its recommends
ton of the Maryland "bosses" to
to take charge of the railroads of
the country. With such power in
their hands they would have placed
Mr.. Cleveland on such rock that
all the combined efforts of repub-
licans, mugwumps, prohibitionists,
civil service reformers, labor strikers
ct al, could not prevail. They would
have carried him through if it we're
founs necessary to rape every bal
lot box in all the doubtful States.
But Mr. Cleveland We find is
stubborn, self-willed and opinion
ated. He has taken his own counsel
and chosen bis own path to destruc-
ton, and the CAPITAL washes its
hands of him and ii his aspirations
for a new lease of rpwer.

A WORTHY EXAMPLE Repre-.
sentative McComas, of Maryland
says the Hagerstown DAILY NewS, is
one of the few members of Congress
who has never accepted railroad
pass or book of telegraph franks.
When he was elected to Congress
he resolved that his legislative ca
reer should not be hampered by the
acceptance of the usual courtesies
extended to Congressman by the
railroad, express and telegraph CON-
panies. lie has never boasted of
this remarkable virtue, and but few
Of his most intimate friends are
aware of it. Most of his constitu-
cnts, believing that he possesses a
book of telegraph franks, frequent
" send him lengthy messages, for
which he has to pay out of his own
pocket. Mr. McComas does not
hesitate to say that he would cheer
fully accept free passes and franks
we're he not member of Congress,
but he has resolved to maintain his
independence to this extent so long
as he remains in Congress.

It seems tnat there isra gang of burg

they have gone at their work, if gen ne1al

way through the backAoor of his place on

of gallons Of whiskey and several boxes
of cigars. Mr.. Smith states that upon
examination yesterday morning he found
11ndoylbted evidence that they had en-

the family reside overhead, no sounds of

HarVeSterS for Farm erS.

The scarcity Of harvest hands in many
parts of Dakota, has caused the manage
ment Of the Northern Pacific to instruct
its agents at Minneapolis and ST. Paul to
sell tickets to points in Dakota to all ap-
p!icants, at the rate of two cents per mile.
This is III order that farmers may procure
the necessary help to harvest their crops.
Mr.. Fee, the general passenger agent, de-
sires this to be made known to farmers
along this line as early as possible. This
rate should enable many laboring men to
come to Dakota for fall s work at good
wages. and will no doubt have the desired
effect IN many places.
